spice overload w/ pedor (ft24)

one of those days where i felt like swimming through a pool of spices and herbs then fill my tummy at the same time. 

i knew Vibe's Gourmet was the right place to be. this place may look like your regular carenderia but no, they're not serving regular meals. they serve dishes with authentic spices and i'm a confessed sucker for their bagoong rice.

what i love most about this place is that they are normally open during the wee hours. after a couple of beers and if your tummy is already looking for food, an appetizing gourmet meal can be ordered here. what's more interesting about this place is that you can order a gourmet meal for less than a hundred bucks..ahmm, i mean pesos. awesomest! (if there's such a word)



i ordered Vibe's Cajun Chicken with Bagoong Rice

and another despedida w/ jogens baby and co. (ft23)

'twas jogen's time to go. between a stressful work and being a mother, she decided to become a full time mom instead for baby jayden. right choice at the right time. we celebrated jogen's send off party at Captain A's Seafood Grill: home of the boodle fight experience. aside from her despedida, the super cutie baby jayden was also introduce to us.

Boodle fight is a military style of eating where long tables are prepared and food are on top of the banana leaves. Viands and rice ready to eat using your bare hands, jugs of water are prepared on the side to wash hands before the "eating combat". With the signal to start the boodle fight, everyone aims for his/her position. ~from urban dictionary

manileng's despedida w/ team gavin (ft22)

what other great way to remember and enjoy shared memories before parting ways than to have it with  a scrumptious meal.  manileng, a co-worker/teamate/friend was leaving us/the company that day. but no, surely that wasn't goodbye. it was more like a "see you around" send off party.

we had it at Co Jordan Pond and Seafood restaurant. where, not only we got to enjoy succulent food but we also got to test our patience through fishing. well, that day was also the day i discovered that fishing is really not for me. eating, maybe. 

 who can say no to these shrimps in garlic sauce?

 Co Jordan's fresh talaba

Co Jordan's mouthwatering crabs in spicy chilli sauce

 Co Jordan's sweet and sour pork

 Co Jordan's grilled squid

 look ma! barehands.

a birthday treat w/ pedor (ft21)

january was obviously pedor's month. so, when his birthday came i decided to treat him with one of his favorites. burgers! yeah. this ain't no ordinary burger though. we had brunch at irie gastropubliko and i had him indulge in irie's angus burger. but wait...there's more. check out his order.


pedor's order. bacon porn. (the burger's name got porn on it, so this has definitely caught his attention. lols. - just my guess, shhhh). bacon porn comes with classic angus, bacon, bacon jam, cheddar, house ketchup, sour cream and bacon bites. he has gotten not only one but two of his favorites (sooo lucky that guy). it was like heaven with a whole lotta bacon on it.


because it wasn't my birthday, i went with the simpler one. :)  i ordered their classic angus with lettuce, onion, cheese, and brioche bun and i requested for an extra cheddar cheese






fudtrip location: irie gastropubliko. 1 Skyrise 4, West IT Park, Lahug, Cebu City
fudtrip cost: around P800+ (w/ 2 coke cans)

lunch at an island w/ pedor (ft20)

an escape from the stressful life of the city, pedor and i went back to camotes island last december for a 3-day getaway. i planned out everything on that trip including where to take our lunch on the second day, lol. and so we went to pito's sutukil at santiago bay because pedor wanted to try out pito's sashimi and mainly because i haven't been there though i already visited camotes before. by the way, sutukil stands for sugba (grilled), towa (soup) and kilaw (ceviche). here are some of the foods that went through our tummy that day :)


pito's tuna sashimi


sizzling squid with mushroom


shrimp guisado

these crazy crabs w/ pedor (ft19)

a sucker for sea food. yes, that's me. i dragged pedor one time to try out these succulent crabs from crazy crabs at gaisano country mall in banilad. i found out about this place when i was browsing through the net one boring afternoon. 




i ordered their garlic crab with rice combo

pedor on the other hand tried their coconut milk crab with rice combo


we ordered their sinigang shrimps as well but i was kinda disappointed with it because the shrimps were too small to be cooked for sinigang (this explains why i don't have a picture of it..lol). may be it just didn't meet my expectations or may be i was just not in the mood for it. nevertheless, those crabs did satisfy my seafood craving for that day.

fudtrip cost: around P400+ (w/ 1 extra rice and 2 bottles of coke)
